Venezuela's Attorney General Tarek Saab addresses the media, in Caracas

(Reuters) - Venezuela's attorney general Tarek Saab on Tuesday said he has requested Interpol to issue an arrest warrant for Argentine President Javier Millei, the latest salvo in a diplomatic spat between the two countries.

Late on Monday, Argentina's federal justice body requested the arrest of Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro, citing human rights violations, following a request from an Argentine advocacy group.

The spat stems from the seizure of a Venezuela airplane in Buenos Aires in June 2022. Venezuela accused Milei of seven crimes, including robbery.

Yazidi woman freed from Gaza after decade in captivity
A 21-year-old woman kidnapped by Islamic State militants in Iraq a decade ago was freed from Gaza this week in a secret operation months in the making that involved Israel, the United States and Iraq, officials said. The woman is a member of the ancient Yazidi religious minority mostly found in Iraq and Syria which saw more than 5,000 members killed and thousands more kidnapped in an IS campaign in 2014 that the U.N. has said constituted genocide. She was freed after more than four months of efforts that involved several attempts that failed due to the difficult security situation resulting from Israel's military offensive in Gaza, Silwan Sinjaree, chief of staff of Iraq's foreign minister, told Reuters.
